Actually I didn't realize he was almost 40, and was operating on the assumption that he's the 32 or so years old he looks to me. However, if his performance was really as good as you otherwise claim, this seizure on the difference a few years makes with an actor who doesn't look his age, and wouldn't be far out of the bracket even if he did, is pure pedantry. Normally I dig pedantry for its own sake with a more than willing perversity, but this is the motherfucking Doctor AND the goddamn Dane you're talking about, so let's keep it pertinent.

..... Okay, so you ALMOST got me there - except that this situation is really more like if a 30 yr old who looked 19 or 20 played Romeo.
